I recently ran across a reference to the "Which-a-Way" tree. It is the tree near Houston under which Sam Houston stood when he made his fateful decision to head his army to Harrisburg--and thus San Jacinto--rather than turning north toward Nacogdoches. There is persuasive thought that Houston wanted to lure the Mexican army into a disputed part of East Texas in order to provide the U. S. Army a reason to intervene. But when Santa Anna split his army to have part of it pursue the fleeding Texas officials, he opted to follow the other half of Santa Anna'w army.
The "Which-a-Way" tree apparently had two long branches, one pointing north and one pointing south. Believe it or not, the tree still stands between Waller and Tomball.
